The dial is also gilt brass with 12 individual enamel cartouches and blued steel hands.

The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having
been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8
days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear
the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is
excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any
wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent
condition just some tiny nibbles to the number 8 cartouche next to the winding
hole. The edge of the brass dial plate has been repaired / altered at some time
but this is hardly noticeable. Candelabra are slightly distorted and the drip
pans have tiny holes, probably for crystal drops. The set makes a stunning
display as you can see below.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up
instructions supplied if required.

About us
- All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in
France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in
original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have
developed over many years. We employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul
the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they
will run trouble free.
